Hmm, those pictures show his colors exactly. He never shows any signs of black on his body, and just has the little bit of yellow on his lower body, fin extensions and that pattern you see. He never gets darker or lighter with fear/aggression. He's an extremely social fish, a delight in my tank...
Hello everyone!
I bought this guy from my local LFS. He was advertised as an "Apistogramma: Orange Flash". My LFS is notorious for incorrect ID's on fish, can anyone help?
I need any advice anyone can offer. I knew my gbr's were up to something when they suddenly took a liking to a rock in the back corner of the tank that is heavily hidden by plants. This morning the entire rock was covered in eggs. I have read a lot about the care of gbr fry but I would like some...
Unfortunately this type of thing is a problem all around with animals... I volunteer at a dog sanctuary and we have had countless cute little light colored dogs adopt out time and again staying maybe a week, but the same larger black or brown dogs have been out there waiting for years! I don't...
I can't really get a picture of it because it's on her pectoral fin, and that never stops moving, haha. But I am pretty positive it is ich, I don't really know how ich got into my tank.... I have always kept my new fish quarantined. It's about the size of a large grain of salt, and has been...
I am so bummed right now. I noticed yesterday that one of my angelfish has a white spot on her fin and I am scared to treat my tank because I have some sensitive fish in there. I have a beautiful pair of german blue rams and a school of rummy nose tetras that I am very afraid will not be able to...
I have an apisto that was identified as female and not sure what specific type as of yet. And I bought a pair of laetacara curviceps and added them to my tank yesterday and this female has been very aggressive to the new guys ever since. She will seek them out from the other side of the tank and...
I am working on a new 55 gallon set up for angels, apistos, and other community fish and I have seen a couple setups with leaves scattered along the bottom of the tank. What kind of leaves are suitable for that? Won't they decay and rot and foul my water?
Thanks all.

Thanks for the help Viejo. I tried my hand at getting some more photos, hopefully these are better than the first batch, and I also got some of the new one. I moved the female from my quarantine tank to my permanent tank and all her yellow drained out of her, it's slowly coming back though... I...
Clear as mud! :biggrin: I guess I will wait it out some and let them mature. Then I can borrow my friends Digital Rebel to get some good photos for you guys.
Thanks again :)
Hmm, see now I am confused, as from the same batch of fish I got the two pictured below that look like Acaras, and the two that look like this female apisto, alot...
Yes, this is just a picture of a similar looking fish I found on the internet, but this isn't what mine are, as there are some differences, like the stripe from the eye. Because I don't have photos of mine yet, I was just using this as an example.
Hello everyone,
I bought two more of these fish from my LFS. Two that I believed to be females, as I am almost positive the two I have are male. Is the female L. Curviceps known to be longer/smaller bodied, and yellow with the black markings? They both look very very similar to this fish...
Thanks so much for the help. Too bad, after all the waiting and promises of Apistos from my LFS and I get something else. Nonetheless, they are beautiful fish and I'll keep them =) I'm in Bakersfield, CA - about an hour and a half North from Los Angeles. Any good shops/breeders anyone can refer...
Hello everyone,
I researched and researched Apistos and finally my LFS got some in for me, and they didn't know what type they are. The breeder had them mislabed as Rams! I bought two of them and tried to get some pics for you guys to help me ID. They aren't great, and I had a blonde moment...
